Wireless Cards for pen testing?

[nikhildas () gmail com]

Hi,
   im jus starting out at a security firm and have been put in charge of getting my own kit because the person in 
charge is on leave. i will be starting out with wired network audits but i have been given a free run of the wireless 
section too. 
         
             could u recommend some cards that are supported by all security test software? eg airsnort/kismet? will i 
need to purchase one of each chipset? ie prism2/atheros. i need windows and linux support. thanks
